Art History And Contemporary Art
The world is a complex place and the old, outmoded, Eurocentric way we look at politics, economics and culture (art) may not be the right way to conceive the new order. Globalism describes, in fact, the increasing unification of the world through economic means (reduction of trade barriers, support of international trade, and mitigation of export and import quotas). They goal for globalization is to increase material wealth and the distribution of goods and services through a more international division of labor and then, in turn, a process in which regional cultures integrate through communication, transportation and trade. The overall theory is that if countries are tied together cooperatively economically, they will not have needed to become political enemies. However, politics and economics do not exist in a vacuum, and art is part of culture and the historical paradigm of regions, countries and is part of…...

PS1
hen Gertrude Stein mused that it is not possible to be both modern and a museum, she foresaw some of the most pressing challenges facing institutions like PS1. Being modern means presenting, and possibly also marketing, contemporary art that has yet to stand the test of time. Curators are prone to the vicissitudes of passing fads, personal biases, and the politics of their interpersonal connections. Because of these challenges, it may become difficult to make value judgments that impinge on the character and brand of the institution. Yet the classical art market has become insufficient to meet the needs of the contemporary art institution. Coupled with pragmatic concerns like funding, adequate access to resources presents problems that encourage curators and museum directors to think creatively and critically about their collections, whether temporary or permanent.

The role of the contemporary art institution has become one of building bridges. Some of the bridges…...

The American poet and art critic John Ashbery, in what is perhaps his most famous poem ("Soonest Mended"), sketches what he has described as an "everybody's autobiography," in which his characteristically postmodern approach to narrative style (leaping from comic strip to novel to abstraction in this passage) seems to question the value of the very concept of "information":

And then there always came a time when

Happy Hooligan in his rusted green automobile

Came plowing down the course, just to make sure everything was O.K.,

Only by that time we were in another chapter and confused

About how to receive this latest piece of information.

Arts
In "The Berlin Key," Latour discusses the way in which simple objects can acquire suddenly "the dignity of a mediator, a social actor, an agent, an active being" through use. This is a version of aesthetics which imagines the artwork as automatically playing a role as a sort of symbolic token whose exchange value exists in transfer between artist and viewer, or between one viewer and another. Locks and keys, in Latour's view, are a construction of a social relationship rather than an expression of one. It is worth asking whether or not this new view of aesthetics -- in which what is emphasized is not so much the lone creative authority of the artist as the sociable presence of that artist, and how the art work is completed (rather than judged, apprehended, or "appreciated") by the viewer.

We can relate Latour's insight to the critique of pedagogy offered by…...

In attempting to negotiate with the Smith's, Peggy Fischer's goal was to get the couple to make good on its promise to contribute $5 million in funding to the museum in Michigan. If they did not at least contribute the full $5 million, it would be acceptable for them to contribute some of that amount, perhaps half of it or, at the very least, $1 million dollars. In considering the negotiation, the BATNA for Fischer is the fact that if she failed to persuade the couple to contribute a substantial sum of money, she could always sue them. BATNA is something of a fall-back strategy (Venter, 2009).The value of this BATNA is the fact that the museum may have an alternative to procuring the funding it needs to get its building completed. Completing the building is one of the most…...

Public Art and Public Spaces
As long as there has been art there has been public art. But this does not mean that public art has always meant the same thing to the people who made it or the community that it was made for. This paper examines four moments in history and four specific artworks as a way of examining how the function of art in public places has changed as well as the ways in which it has not changed, over the centuries. This paper begins at a moment long before many people would place the beginnings of public art - with the Paleolithic drawings on the walls in French caves and ending with the works of Maya Lin. As each moment in time presents a different form of public art, no single, overriding definition of the term will be offered here. Rather, each moment in history and each…...

The J.

However, the Getty has already held two previous Pacific Standard Time events, the first of which received more than twice the amount of funding than this edition focusing on Chicano/a art.

British, American, and Other European Practices Regarding Artistic TreasuresAs noted by Jenette Greenfield in her chapter British and Other European Practice, Britons have often been noted for their mania for collecting, a mania paralleled in the actual physical relics encompassed in the British Museum. The diversity of the British Museums collection is, of course, impressive, but it is the result of colonialism and the unprecedented access Britons had to treasures all over the globe. The UK continues to be in dispute over many relics even with its European colleagues, as is the case with the Elgin Marbles. Many British archeologists seemed to regard plundering tombs in ancient Egypt and elsewhere in Mesopotamia as more of a sport than an actual act of respect to idea of learning about the past. This lack of respect had not entirely been extinguished.What I found so surprising and interesting in light of recent questioning…...

Yoko Ono and Her Art
Yoko Ono was born in Tokyo Japan in 1933. She came to America to study in college, and eventually made her home here. She became very influential in the artistic community in the 1960s, and her avant-garde type of artwork was very controversial but influential. She helped found the "Fluxus" group of artists, who tried to make their work different and meaningful. She works in many mediums like photography, real items (like ladders, signs, and even pieces of paper), and painting. She is probably best known for marrying John Lennon in 1969, but she worked as an artist before she met Lennon, and continues to put on art shows in galleries around the world.

The art work I have chosen is "Half a room - Hospital version" by Yoko Ono. It was completed in 1998, and is a montage photograph that was exhibited in Stockholm in the…...

21st Century Art Themes The theme for the recently completed exhibition at The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City entitled Making/Breaking: New Arrivals, is innovation. Each of the pieces on display in this exhibit showcase novel concepts related to design, usage, and functionality of an assortment of objects. One of the best examples of this fact is found in Levi’s Commuter Trucker Jacket with Jacquard by Google. There are many ways in which this object is aligned with the motifs of novelty, innovation, and progress which typify the design objects in the museum’s Process Galleries. The most salient of these has to do with its functionality.
This garment is an example of the concept that function can actually belie design. What is perhaps most notable about this notion is that many have been forecasting the impact of wearable clothing in the Internet of Things. Wearables are clothes that directly…...

Modern art in the Asia-Pacific region reflects the rapidly changing geo-political landscapes, as well as becoming increasingly integrated into architecture and urban planning. In the Asia-Pacific region, the art of the 21st century can be large scale and includes ambitious installation projects as well as graphic art, graffiti, and urban art. Although influenced by European trends like abstraction and surrealism, the art of the Asia-Pacific region is dedicated to communicating a localized aesthetic. Contemporary art in the Asia-Pacific region can also be politically powerful, designed to make statements. In some cases, art has become a critical component of social justice and communications. The work of Ai Weiwei reflects the fusion of art with politics at critical junctures. In Japan and Korea, political statements were less concerned about protests against governmental institutions and more about gender and oppression in general. Throughout the 20th century, Korean art aimed to celebrate the history…...

Modern Art
Contemporary and modern art has been characterized by increased focus on significant aesthetic and political work of artists across the globe. As a result, contemporary art is largely different from conventional work because of the shift in focus on elements of art. Actually, art has undergone significant changes throughout its history as a result of different influences across different time periods. Some of the major influences of contemporary and modern art include material culture, technology, consumerism, rise of graffiti, protest and posters, land art, mass media, representation strategies, political self-awareness, and expanded cinema. These influences have played major in art production in the contemporary world and contributed to new practices in art. Contemporary art has shifted from medium specificity as the organizing principle for advanced production to the concept of sites and systems because of the numerous factors that have influenced art over the years.

Art Culture: Public Space Art
Public art like that of Koon's Train (2011), Serra's Tilted Arc (1981), Lin's Vietnam Veterans Memorial (1981), and James' Sea Flower (1978), ignite discussion to the point of its modification, re-arrangement, or removal. The reason for this controversial treatment of public art is its ability to embrace a variety of aesthetic practices. The adoption of different aesthetic values like poster art, outdoor sculpture, earthworks, multimedia projections, and community-based projects among others, breaks the public's traditional understanding of art (Glahn, 2000). This critique finds that the public's totalizing classification of public sphere brings about controversy and dialogue over public art displays. By reviewing the famous public art "Tilted Arc" (1981) by Richard Serra, this analysis will show that there are distinct differences between public understanding and professional understanding of public art.

Introduction

Graffiti, often stigmatized as vandalism, has emerged as a form of artistic expression that challenges societal norms and sparks meaningful discussions. While some view graffiti as a nuisance, others recognize its potential as a catalyst for urban revitalization, social commentary, and cultural enrichment. This essay will explore the compelling reasons why graffiti deserves protection and recognition as a legitimate art form.
